Accepted Answer

Snore: I can pick out people who snore when I examine their throats. When they open their mouth, I can't see the back of the throat because their tongue is raised very high in the mouth( they were just born that way). In addition, you can help stop snore having them lose weight. Sleep apnea is very much under-diagnosed. Anyone who snores a doctor should screen the patient for sleep apnea.

Doctor can evaluate: Means obstruction somewhere. If one's oxygen level drops when sleeping, it means the brain and the body are not getting enough oxygen when sleeping. It causes health problems like brain problems, blood pressure problems and heart problems. Sleep specialists, ENT doctors, and lung doctors are the doctors who treat this. Losing weight usually helps unless a person is already slim.
